Cranberry-Lake is located in the Adirondack Mountains, in one of the largest remote areas of the state. It sits in the heart of the Adirondacks State Park and is adjacent to 150,000 acres of forest preserve. Cranberry Lake is considered the gateway to the Five Ponds Wilderness area. The scenic lake offers fishing and boating, canoeing and kayaking and backcountry hiking. Boat tours of the lake are also available in the area. Cranberry Lake covers eleven square miles and has 55 miles of shoreline, of which over forty are state owned. The original lake was much smaller but nearly doubled in size in 1867 with the construction of a log crib dam. A concrete dam replaced the log crib dam in 1916. This is a good place for those looking for a secluded, quiet vacation destination because there is minimal civilization around the lake, and just to the south lie thousands of acres of rolling hills, thick forestlands, numerous lakes and ponds. On the lake, flows and bays extend in every direction, which offer refuge on windy days to those exploring the lake by boat or canoe. Many hiking trails originate along the lakeshore and meander through the forest to remote ponds and mountaintop overlooks with spectacular views of the lake and beyond. Cranberry Lake offers 46 campsites around the lake and a lodge is located on the lake, which contains an Adirondack style restaurant and pub.
The closest airports in the area are the Adirondack Regional airport (SLK) located about 33 miles east of Cranberry Lake in Saranac Lake, New York, the Ogdensburg International airport (OGS) located approximately 44 miles northwest of Cranberry Lake in Ogdensburg, New York, the Watertown International airport (ART) located roughly 60 miles west of Cranberry Lake in Watertown, New York, the Clinton County airport (PLB) located around 72 miles east of Cranberry Lake in Plattsburgh, New York, the Plattsburgh International airport (PBG) located about 73 miles east of Cranberry Lake in Plattsburgh, New York, and finally the Griffiss Airpark airport (RME) located approximately 74 miles southwest of Cranberry Lake in Rome, New York.

Cyber Group Studios expande el alcance mundial de Gigantosaurus y Droners gracias a emisoras y plataformas de primer nivel
por Davide Abbatescianni
01/12/2021 - Los estudios franceses también prevenden su próxima serie, 50/50 Heroes, a Discovery en Latinoamérica y Disney en Japón
Las series Gigantosaurus (izquierda) y Droners
On 29 November, leading French producer and distributor of animated series Cyber Group Studios announced it had secured a raft of deals with international broadcasters and platforms for both seasons 1 and 2 of its hit 52x11-minute pre-school animated series Gigantosaurus, as well as its 26x22-minute action-adventure animé series for kids aged six to ten, Droners.
Moreover, the group has pre-sold its brand-new CGI 2D series, entitled 50/50 Heroes, commissioned by France Télévisions and The Walt Disney Company in Germany and Eastern Europe, to Discovery in Latin America and Disney Japan. 50/50 Heroes is described as "an original graphic universe" focusing on "half-siblings who work together to make one-half of a superhero". The show is currently in production.
Specifically, the first season of Gigantosaurus was sold to NHK (Japan), Plus Plus (Ukraine), RTBF (Belgium) and Premier (Russia), whilst the show's second season was sold to Netflix (worldwide), CCTV (China), POP (UK), RAI (Italy) and SRC (Canada). Gigantosaurus is currently airing on Disney Junior in the USA and across the EMEA region.
Meanwhile, the first season of Droners, commissioned by TF1, was picked up by ABC (Australia), SIC (Portugal), RTBF (Belgium) and RTS (Switzerland). Following the success of its inaugural season on TF1, the second one has been picked up again by the network, as well as by WDR (Germany) and Disney (France and Benelux).
Speaking about the recent deals sealed by the studio, SVP Sales and Acquisitions Raphaelle Mathieu commented: "It's very gratifying and affirming that our signature programmes are resonating so strongly with audiences around the globe in such large and important markets as the USA, Latin America, Asia and EMEA. These new partnerships will help Cyber Group Studios further our mission of creating content that entertains and engages children and families worldwide."

The suggestion by the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) that the Australian federal government should appoint a national chief technologist has been welcomed by the industry, with local CIOs, analysts, and IT companies suggesting how to make it work.
Advantages of having a chief technologist
IDC senior analyst John Feng welcomed the proposition as such an appointment would provide the "much-needed clarity and concertation of technology adoption and development".
[ Keep up on the latest thought leadership, insights, how-to, and analysis on IT through Computerworld's newsletters. ]
The chief technologist would have a strategic and advisory function to increase trust in emerging technologies and provide a link between the government and the public.
The CEDA Technology and Trust Paper 2021 said: "One key lesson from the COVID-19 experience is the importance of having trusted and respected experts to advise and communicate on complex issues. The nation's chief medical officers and chief scientists have brought crucial expertise to policy making and have served as a vital link between governments and the public."

Home Climate Farmer from Malawi brings global climate crisis closer to home than Madrid
Ellen Matupi didn't cause the climate emergency, but she's now on its frontline.
"The emergency is now, disasters are happening now, and we want relief now. When I don't get a good crop, I will not put food on my table for my children."
As a subsistence farmer from Malawi's northern district of Rumphi, the global climate negotiations are normally very far from Ellen's mind; she has much more immediate challenges.
But this year she's travelled more than 5,000 miles to COP25 – the UN climate talks in Madrid – to raise her voice and to speak for millions more who can't be here.
"In Malawi, we are still farming using hoes; it's a back-breaking exercise. It is so hard. The soils have become harder than before.
"Farming is unpredictable these days. We have several problems like droughts and floods."
In Malawi, the vast majority of people are smallholder farmers who depend on rain-fed agriculture to survive.
Earlier this year, floods induced by Cyclone Idai affected many parts of southern Malawi damaging houses and crops. Across Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique more than 1,000 people were killed.
Alongside reducing emissions faster, boosting support for countries on the frontlines of the climate emergency is at the top of the agenda at COP25, which was relocated from Chile amid civil unrest over growing levels of economic inequality.
At the core of the climate negotiations is a deep-rooted injustice: the poorest half of humanity – 3.5 billion people – are responsible for 10 per cent of carbon emissions yet are being hit first and worst by a crisis they did little to cause.
In contrast, the richest 10 per cent produce around half of global emissions.
Rich countries promised $100 billion a year by 2020 to help poor countries cut their emissions and adapt to a changing climate.
"2020 is just around the corner," said Ellen. "We will see if their promises are true or not, but so far we're not being helped."
Just $71.2bn was mobilised in 2017 – though this over-states actual support by a huge margin, with most of the funds given in the form of loans that need to be paid back, double counting, and too little of it committed to help people adapt.
Worse still, due to slow emission reductions, climate impacts are increasingly going way beyond what it is possible to adapt to.
Rich countries must, therefore, do more to pay off their ever-growing climate debt by helping poorer countries rebuild towns and rehome communities after climate disasters.
Take Scotland. On top of our historic emissions, even if we achieve our welcome new net-zero emissions by 2045 as per our new climate change law, our past and present emissions will continue to make the climate emergency worse.
Scotland can't look away. While it is not a formal party to the Paris Agreement, unlike the UK, Scotland's Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change Roseanna Cunningham is at COP25 in Madrid amid growing calls for increased action.
Scotland can be proud of our early commitment to climate justice, but now is the time to increase this example.
With just 11 months until the world's climate talks in Glasgow, Scotland must rapidly reduce its emissions.
But we must also renew our commitment to helping the world's poorest countries adapt to this crisis.
Having declared a "climate emergency", the Scottish Government must now identify ways to boost our Scottish Climate Justice Fund by identifying new sources of revenue and then ensuring it reaches communities being devastated right now.
And we must go further by introducing ring-fenced additional funding to support those facing unavoidable loss and damage.
By innovatively using the Scottish Parliament's revenue-raising powers, Scotland can set a powerful example ahead of COP26 in Glasgow that more funding can be secured without raiding existing international development budgets.
"Scotland is already supporting Malawi. They should continue, and perhaps add some more," Ellen said.
"My message to all world leaders is they should keep their promise that they will provide climate finance for adaptation, as well as for loss and damage."

This indicates that the dishwasher door was opened during a wash cycle, and that the door is unlatched or still open. This is easily remedied by simply closing the door and letting the dishwasher get back to its cycle.
A power outage can also cause your dishwasher to have a problem. To reset the dishwasher and get it working again you can unplug completely, or switch off the breaker for at least one minute. If this doesn't work press the start or reset button for about 10 seconds, then wait for two to three minutes to see if that has been successful.
If the dishwasher is beeping alongside blinking lights, the anti-flood device may have been activated. This means that the sensors have detected water in the casing and have stopped working to prevent flooding. You'll need to tilt the appliance to get rid of excess water, and sponge off water in the base.
These detect any obstruction to the dishwasher spray arms and are another one of the reasons for a beeping dishwasher. You should check them for general wear and tear, and to see if they need replacing.
You may need to check your dishwasher manual about adding rinse aid or coarse salt as refilling incorrectly is another explanation to a beeping appliance.
Faulty inbuilt electronic sensors and flow meters can signal that something is wrong by causing the dishwasher to beep. Read the manufacturer's manual to see just what the beeping noises may signify.
Regular cleaning of your dishwasher will make sure that it continues to work properly without developing any faults. Check and clean screens and filters, look at sprayer arms for clogs, check seals for cracks and deterioration, and invest in a repair kit sold by most hardware stores to mend worn or chipped plastic.
Done all you can but still not happy? When you need dishwasher repairs in South London you'll easily find a reputable company online. Make sure that you get a warranty service for all work carried out, and that your repair is completed by a trained and experienced engineer. Get a free quote for your appliance repair before any work begins, and ask if your service is insured. You'll be able to get your dishwasher fully functioning again quickly when you book a short notice appointment on any day of the week.

Xel-há is so much more than just one of the best aquatic parks in the world, with underground rivers, extreme activities or the all-inclusive Xel-há package, it has plenty of things to offer, including 5 that you might not already know.
We want you to know this incredible place very closely, besides living a swim with dolphins in Cancun, you will be learning and taking care of the environment without making a big effort.
To swim with dolphins in Cancun is definitely one of the most incredible experiences, however, being under water with these mammals is something that you can only do in two places in the world, and Xel-há is one of them.
You are required to wear a special helmet (Sea Trek) designed to dive, that only Delphinus has for this activity with dolphins in an entire natural environment.
Did you know that Xel-há is the world's most sustainable park? In 2014 it became the first company in the world to receive the EarthCheck Gold International Certification, given by the world's leading scientific benchmarking certification and advisory group for the travel and tourism industry.
If that weren't enough, it also received the Distinctive as a Socially Responsible Company, the Trip Advisor Excellence Certificate and the Prize for the Best Business Practices for the Preservation and Conservation of Threatened Species, such as pink snails.
Because Xel-há understands very well the need to educate little ones about caring for the environment, it invites 100 kids daily to workshops and tours, showing them the importance of preserving the natural resources that Quintana Roo and the rest of the country have.
Full-day entrance to Xel-há park and access to over 20 activities.
Swim with dolphins in Cancun, to choose between Primax, Interax or Dolphin Ride.
Snorkel with dolphins, equipment included.
It is the world's biggest natural aquarium!
Because of its dimensions, it can fit 84 professional football fields, Xel-há is considered the world's biggest natural aquarium.
It is composed of several coves that flow into underground rivers, as well as various Cenotes: the Cenote Aventura, Cenote Paraiso, the Mayan Cave and the Black Lagoon. If this is not enough to you, its beach has the most white turtle nests in the country.
What are you waiting for to take advantage of the all-inclusive Xel-há package and enjoy a holiday like no other! This ecological park is waiting for you with open arms.

Top 5 shows of the weekend
October 10, 2015 By Chris Quartly
It's the weekend before CMJ, so it would seem like a good time for a live music fan to relax and charge their batteries. However, this is one of the strongest weekends for shows I can think of this year, don't consider this a top 5, they are all deserving of the number one spot.
5) Luna at Bowery Ballroom and Music Hall of Williamsburg
Having been wowed by Luna during the Northside Festival this year I was keen to repeat the experience, although unsurprisingly these shows sold out long ago. After a 10 year absence the band seemed in great spirits to be playing again, whether chilling out with some Velvets-esque mid-tempo tunes or blazing out some Crazy Horse type guitar solos, the fans lapped everything up. Luna play at Bowery Ballroom on Thursday with Diane Coffee and Music Hall of Williamsburg on Friday with EZTV.
4) Alex G at Baby's All Right and SkyHigh Murals Future HQ
Alex G is just about to release Beach Music, and celebrates with a couple of New York shows this weekend. I'm a bit surprised he hasn't hit the stage where he is headlining Bowery Ballroom or somewhere similar, maybe that's an album cycle away now he's signed to Domino Records. Baby's All Right hosts on Thursday, with Ronald Paris and Forth Wanderers and has sold out. Friday was supposed to be at Silent Barn and has now been moved to SkyHigh Murals Future HQ on 1109 Metropolitan Ave, and is now a benefit show for Silent Barn (tickets), other acts on the bill are Palm, Frankie Cosmos and Emily Yacina.
3) A Place to Bury Strangers at Saint Vitus
While A Place to Bury Strangers are by no means a metal band, there's something that seems like a perfect fit with them and Saint Vitus, whose nuclear-feedback offers a different, but perhaps more brutal experience than downtuned 7-string guitars. Fridays show, which features fellow Death By Audio affiliates Grooms and Scully, is sold out, but at the time of writing there are still some tickets for Saturday, which features Sanhet and Pawns. Don't sleep on this one.
2) Television, Lower Dens, Viet Cong at House of Vans
We all thought summer was over, and it is, but House of Vans didn't seem to get the memo and have put together a first-rate lineup. Terms like seminal and legendary often get tossed out to almost offensive regularity without being earned, but that cannot be said for Television and in particular, Marquee Moon, a genuine contender for New York's finest band and record. The supporting cast are almost as good, and while Viet Cong decide what to call themselves, their name has unjustly taken attention away from what is one of the best records of the year, and contains without doubt the best track of 2015, Death. The band do need a good PA though, with their call and response guitars a big feature in their sound, so let's hope the venue is up to it. Sandwiched in the middle is Lower Dens, whose 2012 album, Nootropics, still gets rotated heavily on my turntable. Thursday 8pm
1) Sun Kil Moon at Town Hall
Mark Kozelek gets a lot of bad press, and to be fair sometimes that is his own doing (though I do also think a lot of it is people over reacting), but that doesn't mean he can't be considered one of the best songwriters of the last 23 years. While his album, Benji, from 2014 caught the critics attention (it made #4 on our top records of last year), the man has never really put out a bad record, and I think with Universal Themes, he has made his most "screw you I'll make whatever record I like" statement to date. Whether or not this puts him slightly below the radar until the press darlings decide he's cool again in a few years remains to be seen. Don't expect much, or anything, from the back catalogue, but it's refreshing to hear an artist with such confidence in their most recent material, and leave the audience captivated, without the need to pull out fan-favourites. Just don't take any pictures or be an "ugly dude" in the front row. Friday 7:30pm

Activision have finally held their long-awaited livestream for Call of Duty Black Ops 4 which showed what's in store for this latest game in the series which is due for release this October. The first major change is that franchise seems to be dumping some of the exosuit-powered nonsense from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Creative Assembly has announced the next bit of Total War: Warhammer 2 DLC called Queen & The Crone. The new DLC focuses on The Hag-Queen, Crone Hellebron, who will lead the Dark Elves in their conquest of the realm. This piece of DLC is the first of a new batch of Legendary Lords packs released.
STALKER 2 was originally revealed back in 2010, but it didn't get very far before the game studio closed in 2012, that closure lead to the end of development on the game. It seems that since GSC Game World reappeared in 2014, they've been slowly working on recreating the game they originally failed to complete.

With Prey, Hollywood Finally Delivers an Indigenous Female Action Star
If you've seen any of the Predator movies, you know that humans are often placed at a disadvantage, facing off against (terrifying) extraterrestrial species with powers like invisibility and thermal vision. Even the indestructible Arnold Schwarzenegger had a hard time competing with one of them in the original 1987 film. But in Prey—the latest in the franchise, launching on Hulu this Friday—the Predator meets his match in Naru (Amber Midthunder), an Indigenous warrior determined to protect her community on the Comanche Nation at all costs.
The new film from Dan Trachtenberg serves as a franchise prequel of sorts. Set in the early 1700s on the American Great Plains, we first meet Naru while she's living peacefully. She longs to be a hunter for her people but faces constant ridicule from her male counterparts. "Why do you want to hunt?" asks Naru's mother in one scene. "Because you all think I can't," Naru replies. However, when the mysterious Predator lands near their village and begins killing off their people and animals—which are integral to the tribe's food source and survival—Naru rises to the occasion and begins using her innate hunting abilities to track, and eventually battle, the beast.

The film is progressive in terms of its Indigenous representation. Not only is the majority of the cast Indigenous—including Midthunder, who is Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota—but the film flips the script on Hollywood stereotypes of Native American culture, aiming instead to showcase how Indigenous people had their own agency and survivor skills. They were, of course, far from the bush-living savages they're often painted as.
For Midthunder, it was this examination of the Indigenous way of life that drew her to the role in the first place; in fact, when she initially auditioned, she didn't even realize that it was a Predator movie. "Honestly, all that I knew was that it was a story about a young Comanche woman who wanted to hunt," Midthunder recalls with a laugh. "I thought that was interesting!"
As the Predator begins zeroing in on Naru and her fellow hunters as a threat, she turns to her land-based teachings to outsmart the bloodthirsty monster. In one scene, for instance, she discovers that her people's medicinal flower petals actually lower body temperature, making the heat-sensing Predator blind to them. Thus begins a battle of wits—and for once, Indigenous people have the upper hand. "In period pieces, we are often represented as one-dimensional—either hyper-spiritual or overtly violent with savage stereotypes," says Midthunder. "I was interested in the opportunity to show Native people in a period piece and what our culture and way of life was actually like."

Of course, it's not often that Hollywood casts an Indigenous female lead as an action star. Midthunder was drawn to Naru's complex character arc, transforming from a hopeful hunter to full-on warrior. "She's definitely determined and hardheaded and was a well-written character," she says. "Through her journey, she's taught that the why in what you do matters." Four weeks of stunt training were required to nail Naru's skills as a fighter, which shine in the climactic final act (no spoilers!). "We had weapon training with the tomahawks, lances, knives, and archery," says Midthunder. "We also developed a sign language; it was based off of real Comanche sign language, mixed with our personal trainer's tactical sign language."
With the help of Indigenous producer Jhane Myers—who is Comanche and Blackfeet—the film took further important steps to ensure the depiction of Indigenous people was historically accurate. When French colonizers arrive and "discover" the Comanche nation, for instance, the film makes it very clear that the community did not want, or need, their help defending the Predator. A large portion of Prey was also shot on Stoney Nakoda land in Alberta, Canada. "To be in a place where people's culture is so similar to mine—at a work environment in the buckskins and surrounded by tipis—it was super meaningful and transcendent," says Midthunder. "It was so easy to picture what life was really like [there]."
With her first huge blockbuster-film role now under her belt, Midthunder says she'll remain open to any and all projects in the near future—though she's always looking for ones that center Indigenous talent. "What I think is cool is putting Indigenous people in roles that are not specifically Indigenous," she says. "You can have a doctor or a superhero and hire an Indigenous person, just because they're good." Still, Midthunder hopes Prey reinvents the Predator franchise and makes die-hard fans consider its narrative anew. "It makes you think: Who is the prey, and who is the predator?"

Random vibration is vibration that can be described only in a statistical sense. The instantaneous magnitude is not known at any given time; rather, the magnitude is expressed in terms of its statistical properties (such as mean value, standard deviation, and probability of exceeding a certain value).
Examples of random vibration include earthquake ground motion, ocean wave heights and frequencies, wind pressure fluctuations on aircraft and tall buildings, and acoustic excitation due to rocket and jet engine noise. These random excitations are usually described in terms of a power spectral density (PSD) function. NX Nastran performs random response analysis as a post-processing step after a frequency response analysis. The frequency response analysis is used to generate the transfer function, which is the ratio of the output to the input. The input PSD multiplies the transfer function to form a response PSD. The input PSD can be in the form of auto- or cross-spectral densities. Random response output consists of the response PSD, ATOC (autocorrelation functions), number of zero crossings with positive slope per unit time, RMS (root-mean-square), and CRMS (cumulative-root-mean-square) values of response. RMS and CRMS output can be scaled using the parameter RMSSF.
This webinar covers several solutions included in the NASTRAN Dynamic Analysis add-on, focusing on frequency response and random response.
These are both very typical analyses in the aerospace industry. We will show how to setup the analysis for both sine, vibe, and random within the Femap pre- and post-processing environment.
Post-processing will be shown through the charting tool, showing excellent ways for looking at responses of various points of interest.

Glow in the Dark with Reefscapers !
At Landaa Giraavaru, 31 new coral frames were transplanted in June, and we also built a large frame for World Oceans Day, so we now have a total of 2,212 frames in our lagoon.
We also monitored a further 161 frames this month, mainly in the Al Barakat and Blu areas, and spent time maintaining, cleaning and photographing them. Some older frames in the shallows have been sinking into the soft sand, so these were raised up. Any missing coral fragments and ID tags were replaced, and we observed that recently transplanted frames are growing very well.
Our Four Seasons apprentice Mirufaag has been working hard this month, updating our coral frame GPS map in the 'Moon Reef' area (below).
At Kuda Huraa, a total of 11 new coral frames were transplanted and deployed during June, mainly in rocky parts of the House Reef to the north. We are continuing our extensive frame maintenance work, re-transplanting any missing fragments, and relocating any necessary frames along with remapping their GPS locations.
At night time, if we use controlled light of specific wavelengths to illuminate certain species of corals, they exhibit a phenomenon known as fluorescence where the dull brown colour takes on vivid rainbow hues. Only a few species of corals possess this unusual property, and it's not known why it occurs.
• advertise the health of a coral colony.
We hope to experiment further with coral fluorescence, and are looking at creating a new eco-feature for the Kuda Huraa water villas … watch this space!
World Oceans Day has been celebrated on 8 June since its inception in 1992 at the earth summit in Rio, Brazil. It was officially recognised by the UN in 2008, with The Ocean Project and the World Ocean Network coordinating global awareness and annual events. In order to take part this year, the Marine Discovery Centre at Kuda Huraa organised several activities to show the different ways that people can get involved in protecting the oceans.
Some staff and guests helped us with a special large coral frame to commemorate the day; we attached coral fragments and the Dive Centre positioned it on the House Reef. Divers and snorkellers also helped us with a reef clean-up, collecting twelve trash bags in total. You can enjoy the photos here (thanks Naoko), and a big thanks to everyone who took part !

Did you ever read something that you found yourself musing over (smilingly), even the next day?
By tahoebasha3 in News
Such has been the case with me since yesterday.
You know the French are well known for their "strikes" – and when they strike, they strike. When their government does something they don't like, they just strike and shut down the transportation, the electricity, you name it — they virtually cripple a city with their strikes – and they get HEARD!
Well, now with the economic conditions being what they are and people being laid off, or "sacked" from work, they have developed a strategy for dealing with the CEO's, who only want to give them "crumbs" as severances.
New strategy coming up!

Seven Years Of Writing About State Killing (with Action Update!)
By davidseth in Personal
cross-posted from The Dream Antilles
To be completely honest, when I began, I never expected that over the course of the next seven years I would write more than 200 essays about ending state killing in America. But today I noticed– I usually miss the date– that March 18, 2009, is the seventh Anniversary of my starting a listserv about ending the death penalty. And I see that I've written more than 200 essays about the topic.
When I started the listserv I described it like this:
The views and opinions of an experienced criminal defense lawyer who is also a buddhist. About pending executions, legal developments, the media, the abolition movement, contemplation, prayer, and engaged, nonviolent activism. Sent sporadically. Only for those who value all lives and are opposed to the death penalty. Not for debate.
Please make the jump.

1 G-20 pledge sustained action on financial crisis
By JANE WARDELL, AP Business Writer
HORSHAM, England – Finance officials from rich and developing countries pledged to boost the role of the International Monetary Fund and make a "sustained effort" to restore global growth after a key conference that sought to bridge deep divisions on how to tackle the financial crisis.
The key priority must be restoring frozen bank lending through cash infusions and dealing with the shaky assets souring bank's balance sheets, the gathered finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of 20 countries said in a statement at the end of talks in southern England.
The statement did not back a U.S. push for concrete, coordinated efforts for governments to spend more money to boost their economies. It acknowledged the importance of the stimulus efforts already in place, and called for stronger financial regulation.

Republicanism: The Cult of Selfishness
By buhdydharma
As we look around on this fine spring day, we see every structure and pillar of America in what amounts to a giant pile of rubble.
The financial structure, the political structure, the moral structure.
The Republicans succeeded in destroying it all. Let it NEVER be forgotten that it was the years of unfettered Republican Rule that brought us here, that destroyed America to this extent. NEVER.
When we remember 9/11 and the pile of rubble that resulted from it, both real and metaphorical, let us remember in the same mental breath the Presidential Daily Briefing of August 6th: bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US. And George Bush's reply to it. "Ok, you have covered your ass." He was you see, on vacation.
Typical. In fact…..definitional.
He was on vacation and didn't want to be bothered. Selfishness. He responded AS IF the people who worked frantically to get the memo in front of him weren't doing it to actually protect the country, but to cover their own ass. He assumed that they were being….Selfish.
Because that is the only frame of reference that his kind of Republicanism (the kind that has destroyed the country) has. Selfishness.
They are Selfish. They think only of them self. It is the position that they proceed from. It is all they have known their entire life. It IS their only frame of reference. It is the lens through which they see the world.
Every action they take and every thought that they have is rooted in selfishness. Thus, every action that anyone else ever takes HAS TO be rooted in selfishness. Because every action they take is, and they are literally incapable of seeing any other motivation. They are selfish. All of their friends are selfish. And so they see every other human being through that lens.
When Rush wants the president, and thus the country, and thus everyone in the country to fail. That is selfish. So when they see Obama trying to fix the problems that they caused through their selfishness, all they can see it as is the Democrats being selfish. If the Democrats are trying to fix the country, they are OBVIOUSLY doing it to increase their own political power….
Why else would they do it???
They ask. Because the very concept of someone trying to fix the country to, ya know…….actually fix the country! is alien to them. Literally inconceivable. They can NOT conceive of any body anywhere doing something because it is the right thing to do. Because it would help someone else. Because it would make things better for someone other than them.
The Bill For the Iraq Invasion And Occupation Is Due
By Edger
Phyllis Bennis is a Senior Analyst at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC, and the author of Before and After: US Foreign Policy and the September 11 Crisis, Challenging Empire: How People, Governments, and the UN Defy US Power, and Understanding the US-Iran Crisis: A Primer.
In an interview with Real News CEO Paul Jay, Bennis talks about the impact of US presence and the eventual departure from Iraq, and notes that although at some point US Troops will have to be withdrawn from Iraq and Iraqis are going to have a right to determine their own future, after years of occupation and the destruction and damage inflicted on Iraq and the country's peoples the US owes reparations and more, but this can only be acted on after military occupation is ended.
Real News – March 13, 2009
Don't cut and run, but get out of Iraq now
By most estimates, more than a million Iraqis have been killed as a direct consequence of the invasion and occupation, and many millions have been displaced and become refugees.
Is there any amount of reparation that can make up for what has been done to Iraqis? Has anyone thought to ask Iraqis that question? Would reparations equaling the more than a trillion dollars spent to kill them and destroy their country be enough?

Obama's New Tack: Blaming Bush
President Points to 'Inherited' Economy
By Scott Wilson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, March 14, 2009; Page A0
In his inaugural address, President Obama proclaimed "an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics."
It hasn't taken long for the recriminations to return — or for the Obama administration to begin talking about the unwelcome "inheritance" of its predecessor.
Over the past month, Obama has reminded the public at every turn that he is facing problems "inherited" from the Bush administration, using increasingly bracing language to describe the challenges his administration is up against. The "deepening economic crisis" that the president described six days after taking office became "a big mess" in remarks this month to graduating police cadets in Columbus, Ohio.
Robert Fisk's World: The West should feel shame over its collusion with torturers
I want to know why those complicit in Almalki's ordeal are not tried in court
I invited Abdullah Almalki to breakfast in Ottawa but he only took coffee. And while I wolfed down my all-English breakfast in the Chateau Laurier Hotel (beloved of Churchill and Karsh of Ottawa fame), he sipped gingerly at his cup with much on his mind. Snooped on by the Canadian secret service and then tortured in Syria while the Canadian authorities did nothing for him – save supplying his perverted torturers with questions – he had much to think about. A carbon copy of Binyam Mohamed, the British resident who had his penis cut up while the Brits sent questions to his perverted Moroccan torturers.
In Abdullah Almalki's case, he wasn't renditioned. He simply flew into Damascus to see his Syrian family, got banged up in the city's secret police headquarters and was then beaten into submission, not much different from an even more famous case – that of Maher Arar, who was a Canadian citizen and got renditioned to Damascus by the Americans while the US authorities sent questions to his perverted Syrian torturers. Arar has received apologies from US senators – though not from the war hero George Bush (battle honours: the skies over Texas during the Vietnam conflict) — and compensation from the Canadian government.
Plan to cut mortgage interest deduction stirs opposition
Obama's proposed budget would reduce the tax break for households earning more than $250,000. Some see the plan as targeting real-estate rich states like California and New York.
By Peter Y. Hong
The Obama administration's budget threatens to cut a benefit many Americans view as practically a right — the mortgage interest tax deduction — and powerful real estate interests are fighting back.
The move would affect only households earning $250,000 or more, but opponents say it could prolong the housing crisis by slowing already torpid home sales and deal another blow to home values ravaged by the market crash.
"Even though the intended impact is on the top 2% of households, the unintended consequence will be a reduction in home values for homeowners across the country," said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Assn. of Realtors.
The Realtors group contends that the loss of the tax break will lead high-income home-buyers to spend less on homes, which would eventually drive down prices at the high end. And if mansions cost less, modest bungalows will ultimately see their values fall as well, Yun contends.

AUSTIN, Texas –State District Judge John Dietz heard closing arguments today at the conclusion of a three-week evidentiary hearing, which focused on whether the actions of the 83rd Legislature impacted his prior ruling that the school finance system was unconstitutional.
Just over a year ago, Judge Dietz ruled in favor of both of the claims brought by the Calhoun County ISD plaintiffs, a group of 88 school districts represented by Mark Trachtenberg and John Turner, partners with Haynes and Boone, LLP. Judge Dietz held that the school finance system had evolved into an unconstitutional state property tax and that the system failed to provide the Texas school districts access to funding sufficient to provide a constitutionally adequate education. Last June, he reopened the record to assess the impact of recent legislative actions.
Evidence presented during the recent hearing showed that even after the legislature restored $3.4 billion of the $5.4 billion in budget cuts that had been implemented in 2011, funding still dropped by $312 per student over the last decade in real dollars, and almost $600 per student since 2009. Most of the districts in the Calhoun County ISD plaintiff group saw very little new money and their funding levels remain well below where they were before the 2011 budget cuts.
The 83rd Texas Legislature reduced the number of state assessments for high school students from 15 to five, but four of the five remaining exams were the very focus of discussion during the trial. English I reading, writing, algebra, and biology are all still required. Forty-two percent of students who took STAAR exams as ninth graders in the Spring of 2012 have still failed to pass all of the exams required for graduation that they have taken, even after five administrations of those assessments. The majority of those students must still take and pass U.S. History.

U.S. Employers Add 531,000 Jobs In October
The Department of Labor also reports the nation's unemployment rate fell to 4.6%.
Nam Y. Huh / AP
Article by AP
America's employers stepped up their hiring last month, adding a solid 531,000 jobs, the most since July and a sign that the recovery from the pandemic recession is overcoming a virus-induced slowdown.
U.S. Weekly Jobless Claims Drop To Pandemic Low
The Labor Department reported new jobless claims fell by 10,000 last week to 281,000.
Friday's report from the Labor Department also showed that the unemployment rate fell to 4.6% last month from 4.8% in September. That is a comparatively low level though still well above the pre-pandemic jobless rate of 3.5%. And the report showed that the job gains in August and September weren't as weak as initially reported. The government revised its estimate of hiring for those two months by a hefty combined 235,000 jobs.
All told, the figures in the jobs report point to an economy that is steadily recovering from the pandemic recession, with healthy consumer spending causing companies in nearly every industry to step up hiring. Though the effects of COVID-19 are still causing severe supply shortages, heightening inflation and keeping many people out of the workforce, employers are finding gradually more success in filling near-record-high job postings.
By nearly every barometer, the economic recovery appears solidly on track. Services companies in such areas as retail, banking and warehousing have reported a sharp jump in sales. More Americans bought new homes last month. And consumer confidence rose in October.
At the same time, though, the nation remains 4.7 million jobs short of the number it had before the pandemic flattened the economy in March 2020. The effects of the virus are still discouraging some people from traveling, shopping, eating out and attending entertainment venues.
The number of long-term unemployed — people out of work for six months or more — has fallen sharply in recent months, to 2.3 million in October from 4.2 million in April. That is still double the pre-recession total. But it's an encouraging sign because employers are typically wary of hiring people who haven't held jobs for an extended period.
One disappointing note in Friday's report is that the workforce — the number of people either working or looking for a job — was unchanged in October. That suggested that the reopening of schools in September, the waning of the virus, and the expiration of a $300-a-week federal unemployment supplement have yet to coax many people off the sidelines of the job market in large numbers.
Drawing many people back into the workforce after recessions is typically a prolonged process. There are now 7.4 million people officially out of work — just 1.7 million more than in February 2020, before the pandemic struck the economy. Yet millions more who lost jobs during the recession have given up on their job hunts, and employers might have to raise pay and benefits to draw them back in.

A U.S. judge has given permission for a psychologist to examine Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman behind bars.
NEW YORK (AP) - A U.S. judge has given permission for a psychologist to examine Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman behind bars.
Court papers from lawyers for the reputed Mexican drug lord say that harsh conditions at a New York city jail have caused a "marked deterioration in his mental state." They say he's depressed and suffers from headaches and memory loss.
At a pretrial hearing on Wednesday in Guzman's drug trafficking case, federal judge Brian Cogan said a psychologist could visit him next week.
Guzman was sent to the United States last year from Mexico, where he ran the Sinaloa drug cartel and twice escaped from prison. He's expected to go to trial next year.

Q: how to make the items of my Firebase Recycler adapter onClick with kotlin android with the help of FirestoreUI I established a recyclerview that contains items from my cloud firestore database in it . And now I would like to be able to trigger an event* after clicking on an item of this list ( *the event is basically a new activity where I can find more details about the item) I am using Kotlin and android studio .
this is the activity where I put all the code I needed :
    class UserViewHolder(itemView : View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView)
class MeetingActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    val db = Firebase.firestore
    private val newMeetingActivityRequestCode = 1
    private lateinit var rvMeetings : RecyclerView
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_meeting)
        rvMeetings = findViewById(R.id.rvMeetings)
        val query : CollectionReference = db.collection("Meetings")
        val options = FirestoreRecyclerOptions.Builder<Meeting>().setQuery(query , Meeting::class.java)
            .setLifecycleOwner(this).build()
        val adapter = object: FirestoreRecyclerAdapter<Meeting, UserViewHolder>(options){
            override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): UserViewHolder {
                val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
                    .inflate(R.layout.meeting_raw_layout, parent, false)
                return UserViewHolder(view)
            }
                override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: UserViewHolder, position: Int, model: Meeting) {
                val tvName : TextView = holder.itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv1)
                val tvEmojis : TextView = holder.itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv2)
                tvName.text = model.name
                tvEmojis.text = model.time
            }
        }
        rvMeetings.adapter = adapter
        rvMeetings.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)

        val fab: View = findViewById(R.id.fab)
        fab.setOnClickListener {
            fabOnClick()
        }

    }

    private fun fabOnClick() {
        val intent = Intent(this, AddMeetingActivity::class.java)

}

any help would be really appreciated and thanks !

A: setOnClickListener in your list item
  override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: UserViewHolder, position: Int, model: Meeting) {
                val tvName : TextView = holder.itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv1)
                val tvEmojis : TextView = holder.itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv2)
                tvName.text = model.name
                tvEmojis.text = model.time
                holder.itemView.setOnClickListener {
                    //do something

Q: What happended to nunit extensions/rowtest? In NUnit 2.4.7, nunit.framework.extensions.dll was included which made it possible to do RowTests.
When downloading the newest version (2.5.8) I can't find it. What happened to it?

A: RowTest was an extension that was merged in temporarily, and was removed in 2.5 Alpha 2
Quote from the Release Notes for 2.4.8:

NUnit now includes the RowTest
  extension, written by Andreas
  Schlapsi, in it's extension
  assemblies. This extension allows you
  to write test methods that take
  arguments and to provide multiple sets
  of argument values using the
  RowAttribute. To use RowTest, your
  test must reference the
  nunit.framework.extensions assembly.
Note: Merging extensions into NUnit's
  own extension assembly is an
  experiment we are trying for this
  release. The approach may change in
  future releases.future releases.

Quote from the 2.5 alpha 2 Release Notes:

The RowTestExtension, which was merged
  into the nunit extension dlls in
  Alpha-1, is now provided as a separate
  addin. This is the general approach we
  plan to take with regard to any
  bundled addins, since it permits the
  creator of an addin to provide updates
  separately from the NUnit release.

You can now download the RowTest extension from here.

A: Instead of using RowTest, you can use TestCase. A previous testing using RowTest would look like:
[RowTest]
[Row("foo", false)]
[Row("", true)]
public void Some_test(string value, bool expected)
{
  // test
}

And the same thing with TestCase looks like this:
[TestCase("foo", false)]
[TestCase("", true)]
public void Some_test(string value, bool expected)
{
  // test
}

Entire "Jersey Shore" Cast Returning for Season 4
By Beth Stebner and Daniel Macht	• Published at 3:07 am on April 8, 2011
Expect a lot more gyms, tanning, and laundry in the near future.
MTV has lined up the entire Seaside Heights crew for a fourth season of "Jersey Shore," Access Hollywood reported on Friday.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Pauly "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio, Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Vinny Guadagnino and Deena Nicole Cortese are all on board for the new season, which is set to take place in Italy.
News of the deal comes one day after MTV confirmed it had ordered up two spin-offs of the wildly popular reality show.
"I got my own Spinoff! #SnookiRevolution" Snooki tweeted after the big reveal.
The show, according to MTV, will examine the lives of Snooki and JWoww with a fine-toothed comb as the pair "deal with life and love when the vacation is over."
And let's not forget about Pauly D. The DJ will do what he does best (no, not hairstyling) and will travel with his pals from Rhode Island. MTV says the focus will be on "one of the country's most in-demand DJ's."
The spin-off will start filming later this year and be on air in 2012.

Q: is ggtsdisplay in forecast broken I'm using R version 3.3.2 with ggplot2_2.2.0 and forecast_7.3 (see below for full sessionInfo()). After my most recent update I'm having some issues with ggtsdisplay(). It's as it's not plotting the ACF, ggAcf(), and PACF, ggPacf() plots despite both ggAcf() and ggPacf() works separately (also code below),
What I'm getting now (after my most recent update),

What I got before my update,

# install.packages(c("forecast", "zoo", "ggplot2"))

[17] nnet_7.3-12      tibble_1.2

A: I got the same result with ggplot 2.1.0. Type the function name and notice from the parameters at the top of hte function that "partial" is the default plot "type". So this is the set of function calls:
if (plot.type == "partial") {
        lastplot <- ggPacf(x, lag.max = lag.max, na.action = na.action) +
            ggplot2::ggtitle(NULL)
        acfplotrange <- ggplot2::ggplot_build(acfplot)$panel$ranges[[1]]$y.range
        pacfplotrange <- ggplot2::ggplot_build(lastplot)$panel$ranges[[1]]$y.range
        yrange <- range(c(acfplotrange, pacfplotrange))
        acfplot <- acfplot + ggplot2::ylim(yrange)
        lastplot <- lastplot + ggplot2::ylim(yrange)
}

Updating to ggplot2 to 2.2.0 gave the same results on  a Mac running 3.3.1. So you need to read the NEWS file for ggplot2 and see if there were any announced changes to ggplot_build. Which I tried to find and failed. Also tried the http://ggplot2.tidyverse.org website which has no announcements or links to changes that I could find. So I guess you need to send bug reports to both the maintainers of ggplot2 and forecast.

> maintainer('forecast')

Q: Compute probability using indicator function I am proofing the Tail Probability Expectation Formula, I have some idea but I don't know it is correct or not.
$$ E[X] = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}P\{X \geq n\}$$
$$$$
First I create an indicator function.
$$ 1_{\{X>n\}}=
 \begin{cases}
      1 & ,x>n \\
      0 & ,otherwise
   \end{cases}
$$
Then,
$$E[X] = E[E[X|1_{\{X>n\}}]]$$
$$ E[X] = E[P\{X>n\}]$$
Since X is non-negative, we have $n>0$ (I am wondering it is correct or not). We have...
$$E[X] = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}P\{X>n\}$$
Then increment the index by 1 since $n>0$.
$$ E[X] = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}P\{X \geq n\}$$
Hence
as desired.

A: Hmm, I don't see how you go from your first $E(X)$ to your second... $P(X > n) = E(1_{X > n})$.
Here's a hint for how to do it. Recall that
$$ E(X) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty n P(X = n). $$
So you have one lot of $P(X = 1)$, two of $P(X = 2)$, three of $P(X = 3)$, etc. Imagine these 'boxes'. Each number $n$ represents $P(X = n)$
123456789...
 23456789...
  3456789...
   456789...
    56789...
 ... ... ...

There is one 1 because you count $P(X = 1)$ once; there are two 2s because you count $P(X = 2)$ twice. If you add up all of these, you get $E(X)$. The formula
$$ E(X) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty n P(X = n) $$
corresponds to adding up column by column: first $n = 1$ does the one term in te first column, then $n = 2$ does the two terms in the second column, etc.
Instead, try to add up all the elements a row at a time. Your first term is the entire first row:
$$ P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + \cdots = P(X \ge 1). $$
Your second term is the second row:
$$ P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + \cdots = P(X \ge 2). $$
Can you show rigorously that the $n$-th term is $P(X \ge n)$? If so, once you sum up all the rows, you can the desired formula

A: The equation $E[X]=E[E[X\mid 1_{X\ge n}]]$ does not imply $E[X]=E[P\{X>n\}]$. However, here is a method possibly more in line with your original idea.
We start with the following deterministic equality, valid for any nonnegative integer $x$:
$$
x=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} {\bf 1}_{x\ge n}
$$
In words, a nonengative integer is equal to the number of positive integers which are less than or equal to it.
Now, replace $x$ with the random variable $X$ to get $X=\sum_{n=1}^\infty 1_{X\ge n}$, and take the expected value of each side. Done!

BIMM Introducing: Kaia Vieira
Words: Conor Glackin
Kaia Vieira is an up-and-coming artist from Bournemouth currently studying at BIMM London on the songwriting course. Vieira has a wide range of musical tastes including everything from modern soul and jazz to drum and bass and she uses these influences along with her exceptional songwriting and experience as a busker to create a fresh and captivating sound. This year she released her EP 'Vikāra' which features the track 'Where Did You Go?'. Recently the Bladerunner remix surpassed 40,000 streams on Spotify, a feat any new artist should be immensely proud of. She talks to LDN about lockdown, finding "green spaces" and self-mercy.
Kaia Vieira: rising star of modern soul and d'n'b
From an artist's perspective, how would you describe 2020 as a whole?
Unstable. Confusing. Pretty volatile. Yeah it has just been very hard to plan and how to set your ideas at the moment, but I find it's quite sad as well how many of my musician friends are thinking of leaving it altogether. It's a real shame but I think there is also a certain amount of faith that we'll get through the other side and be able to resume another life, even if it's a new life.
Do you think studying at BIMM has prepared you well for breaking into the music industry? Would you recommend studying here to anyone with an interest or passion for music?
I think the biggest thing for me are the contacts I've made. All these teachers are industry professionals and I wanted to treat it like that since day one, just show up and present myself as I would with any professional and I think that's enabled me to find Paul [Ablett], my manager, and one of my songwriting teachers, Ian Sillett, who became my mentor as well. I think there is so much that you can learn but at the end of the day you must propel your own learning. The more you can incorporate that into your own career and your own journey it becomes much easier to do it and stay motivated.
Did you notice any major differences in your creative process of making music during lockdown? Was it hard to find inspiration at times or did it come naturally?
It was a real rollercoaster. There were times when the solitude was quite great in some ways to be creative. I often tried to get into nature and green spaces. I would also have real low points in lockdown like so many people have had. I think that's just been the nature of it. I would suggest practicing a lot of self-mercy and self-forgiveness during this strange time. You're not going to get back to where you want to be without giving yourself some forgiveness and space first.
The Bladerunner remix of 'Where Did You Go?' has reached 40,000 streams on Spotify. How did this come about and did you expect it to do so well in such a short amount of time?
BIMM have this thing called Amplify where you get opportunities to work with other song writers, performers, and journalists. They can all get together and basically create business teams. I did that and I found it great and that was when I got the idea to do a remix to include in the EP. I've always loved drum and bass music which I've listened to since I was a teenager. I brought the idea to Paul who had a contact with Aphrodite, a drum and bass legend who was big in the 90s. He's the head of an agency and through him I got in contact with Bladerunner. I really loved his work, so we got in touch with him. The track itself has done so well and the thing is it's absolutely banging, I love it!
"Some of my friends are thinking of leaving music altogether. It's real shame but I there is also a certain amount of faith that we'll get through the other side."
Your manager, Paul, is an industry veteran having worked in multiple areas from performer to manager. How would you describe your working relationship?
He's been in the game a while working as a manager and a journalist, and I can tell how much experience he has. I like to try and educate myself on the business side of things, especially since I moved to London, and as much as you need to be proactive yourself it's really comforting to have a team that has your back. When I've had bad days or I've been struggling creatively or with my direction, my team will pull me forward. Paul's been amazing, he's great at planting seeds. He'll suggest some music or an idea. It's a collaboration and you're working together and the network they have can be so beneficial to you (as an artist) in ways you can't imagine. For any managers out there, I think it's really important to have an eclectic music taste to influence them and guide them with your input on the music as well.
What advice would you give to anyone trying to break into the industry?
Right now, we have great opportunities, such as going to BIMM. Keep working on your craft and get and be ready to network. It is really confusing now and it's hard to know what the music landscape will look like in the spring or the summer. I think the most important thing is to build a catalogue of material and start to build up your contacts. The music industry isn't that big. As soon as you get your foot in there you start to build confidence the more you try and put yourself out there. I would say busking helped build my confidence up a lot.
Speaking of busking, how satisfying was it to perform in front of an audience again after lockdown, and months of not being able to?
It felt so good. I recently began busking at a market in Croydon, which will return on the other side of lockdown. The performer in me had so much appreciation for being able to do it again, it felt like complete freedom. I could tell how much the people who I interacted with on the streets were feeding off it. My band and I are hoping to do another busking gig before Christmas and get some new music out to the people.
What can we expect from Kaia Vieira in 2021?
I've got a lot of new material that I'm working on. A lot of stuff was written before and during lockdown so I'm figuring out what could work as a single or an EP. I've got big aspirations for an album and I'd like to get something out in spring. I'm also thinking about potentially doing a busking tour with my band.
